Here is an amazing video of micro robots from SRI doing construction work:

    I just wound a wire in serpentines to a protoboard, place a sheet of paper on it. Then I have some small supermagnets and with the help of a 5A power supply I could move the magnets! To do it better you need 2 separate phases, cross them in X and Y and, here you go. A perfect application for a multi-core processor! And, if you do energize the tracks all separately or in groups it should be possible to save energy and run a few of them.
    You could use the flex connections for parallel interfaces e.g. LCD-screens to make the wires. They are flexible, thin and rock solid.
